Upbring is raising the standards for what childhood should be.
The harsh realities of child abuse and neglect often extend beyond the four walls of a home and into the fiber of our communities—in many cases stemming from a cycle of crime, economic disparity, mental health disorders and substance abuse. Every case of child abuse is different from the next because every child is unique, and so are their needs.
That’s why in order to break the generational cycle of child abuse, Upbring meets children and families in need right where they are. We then surround them with the services they need right then based on five key markers of every child’s success: safety, life skills, education, health and vocation. We call this our continuum of care.
